Old ball info
« on: May 19, 2011, 05:43:05 AM »
Does anyone know of a place where you can get the tech specs for a ball that doesn't show up on the website anymore, not even in the archive of retired balls?

 

 In particular, I'm looking for the specs on the original green Nitro/R in a 14lb weight.

You may want to email Ebonite.  Even if it doesn't appear on their site, they should be able to find the specs for you.

 Already did. This ball isn't even listed there. I would've at least listed it myself with no specs, but it seems I no longer have access to do that.

I have reinstated your publisher rights.

If you havent been active on the site for a while, I revoke your rights to add balls.

I dont want dormant accounts with these abilities.




If a ball is not listed, its either pre-1990 or I and others were unable to track down any specification or pictures from any source available.




I would encourage that you get concrete information about the ball including a picture before adding it to be consistent with the other balls on the website.

 You have forgotten how I am, haven't you?

 I'm thorough, if nothing else.
 Anything  I put on there will be correct. You can bet on that.

 At times, I find incorrect things others have put there. That's when I found out that I could no longer add or edit because I was going to correct it and couldn't.

 

 You need have no fear that I will be a detriment to the site. Incorrect info, especially on older stuff that people need access to at times, is unacceptable. I want my info correct before I put MY name on it.

Besides, I'm off work right now with a broken arm, so I've got plenty of time to look around for stuff. I've been bored to death looking for something to pass the time.
